Inclusive Recruitment, Promotion and Allyship

November 29, 2023

We have Nicola McGuinness in this ‘Lunch n Learn’ session who will talk through the basics of inclusive recruitment from the initial job specification to advertising, interviewing and onboarding, thus ensuring you are doing all you can to attract a diverse talent pool.

The session will highlight good practices when it comes to retention and advancement of your female talent. Nicola will finish up touching on ‘Allyship’ and the importance of standing up against inequality and supporting and advocating for the underprivileged.

Nicola is an experienced coach and leadership consultant whose mission is to ensure that workplace is an environment where people can create a meaningful impact and gain fulfilment from their role.

Nicola is deeply passionate about gender equality which has led to her founding and continuing to lead the Lean In Network located in Newry. The organisation has over 400 members. She also delivers EDI programmes through her own business and for Lean In across the world which has resulted in an expanded cultural awareness and understanding of the unique challenges women and under-represented groups face in the workplace.
